The Wife's Comeback Chapter 30: Emotions
Chapter 30EmotionsWe left the office when I already cooled down. Naghihintay roon si Ivan na nakahawak ang kamay sa baywang habang ang isa naman ay sa telepono. He turned his back on us when he saw us."I told you no dirty business. Last month was horrible enough. Do something about it!" his voice echoed in the room.I covered Ice's ears when I realized how angry he was although he's trying his best to lower his voice down. Maybe it's his work. Kasasabi lang niya kanina na wala siyang aasikasuhin pero heto siya at namomroblema na.Bumuntonghininga ako."I can't go right now. Do you have your chains on me? I'm always locked like a dog! Fucking spare me just this once!"Sinulyapan ko si Ice na abala sa kaniyang tablet. Good thing I gave it to him earlier."Don't fucking bother me or else, I'll use all the power I have to seize you. You know me, Seis," aniya sa nagbabantang boses.Harshly, he turned the call off. Nahuli ko pang pinatay niya ang kaniyang cellphone.I cleared my throat.
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 31: Disbelief
Chapter 31DisbeliefHabang nasa sasakyan, may nasulyapan akong convenience store na may katabing pharmacy kaya saglit akong nagpadaan kay Ivan. Mabuti na lang at nasa mood yata siya kaya tinigil niya sa tabing kalsada ang sasakyan. The cars tailing behind us stopped, too."What will you buy inside?" tanong niya habang nagtatanggal ako ng seatbelt.Nag-isip muna ako ng sasabihin. "Paubos na 'yung breakfast oats ni Ice. I'll buy another one for him."Pinilig niya ang kaniyang ulo. "Saan? Sa convenience store?"Itinabi ko ang seatbelt. "Hmm. Mabilis lang ako. I can... take a bodyguard with me."Saglit niya akong tinitigan. Mukhang may nagtatalo pa sa loob niya kung papayagan ba ako o hindi. I rolled my eyes inwardly. Ayaw niya ba talaga akong makawala?"Go on," buntonghininga niya at inabutan ako ng pera.I simply smiled. Bago bumaba sa sasakyan, sinilip ko muna ang anak ko sa backseat. He's still sleeping. I'm not really sure about leaving him here because of the thought that Ivan migh
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 32: Revelation
Chapter 32RevelationHe brought me behind the dark coconut trees. He removed the cloth on my mouth. Laglag ang panga ko at tingin ko'y hindi na ako humihinga. I squealed loudly when I found my voice. He immediately covered my mouth again."Hm!" daing ko."Shh!" he said urgently.Hinubad niya ang suot na mask. Napatigil ako dahil sa pamilyar niyang mukha. A tear escaped my eye."Do you recognize me now?" he asked with a small smile.Humikbi ako. He freed my mouth. Pinigil ko ang pagpalahaw ng matinding iyak.I saw some light. Finally, I saw a light!"Don't shed a tear, please..." His thumb caressed my under eye."S-Seymour..." I sobbed.Napayakap ako sa kaniya dahil sa sari-saring nararamdaman. He hugged me back. Pinigil kong mapaiyak nang malakas dahil alam ko ang implikasyon kapag nahuli kami. Ivan's men were just scattered around the area and I'm afraid what they'll do to Seymour if they found out somebody else was able to enter this place."Ligtas ka na. I want you to know that wh
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 33: Help
Chapter 33HelpI let out a sharp exhale when I woke up from a very deep slumber. Mabilis akong napabangon."Rigella," Seymour's soft voice filled my ears.Nasa gilid ko siya. It's like he was sitting beside the bed I laid on the whole night.Wait... the whole night. Dahil pagkakita ko sa labas ng bintana ay tirik na tirik na ang araw. Sa hindi malamang dahilan ay nangilid ang luha ko. It's such a relief to actually wake up for another sunrise."What happened?" namamalat kong tanong."You passed out..." Worry flashed in his eyes. Umabante siya para makaupo sa tabi ko. He held my arms and stared deep into my eyes."Ang akala ko, may masama nang nangyari sa 'yo," worry laced in his voice.I took a slow gulp. Ni hindi ko rin namalayan ang nangyari. Pero ang pinakatumatak sa akin ay ang mga naganap kagabi.The mere thought of it brought chills to my spine. Kumurap-kurap ako dahilan ng pagtulo ng mga luha."Shh, Rigella..." Seymour tried to shush me."Hindi ako makapaniwalang... iyon pala
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 34: Regret
Chapter 34Regret"Hindi ako nagsisisi," my brother was straightforward.Umigkas ang kamay ko para sa isang sampal sa kaniya. Halos hindi ko na maipikit ang mga mata ko sa mga luhang bumubuhos. I can't believe I'm hearing this from him!He's already handcuffed but he's still thick-skinned like this. Pinili kong puntahan siya kaysa ang ospital kung nasaan ang anak ko dahil alam kong safe siya roon. I just need a clear answer why my brother became a threat to him."A-Ano bang nagawa ko sa 'yo para gawin mo 'to sa anak ko?!" may hinanakit kong tanong. "He's your nephew! How dare you!"Halos mabasag ang boses ko sa tindi ng aking pagsigaw. Inalalayan ako ni Seymour. If it weren't for his hold on me, I might be sitting on the floor now. Meanwhile, my brother just stared at me blankly."I won't exchange what happened into something else. Wala akong pagsisisi, Rigella," mariin na aniya."Kuya, naririnig mo ba ang sarili mo? Kapatid mo 'ko at kadugo mo si Ice! Pamangkin mo yung bata, Kuya!""
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 35: Tears
Chapter 35TearsOne thing was clear to me. All that happened was full of deceit and compensation. All for my family's money and riches.They let me in, as per Lara's words. Umalis na lang ako basta kanina dahil hindi ko na masikmura ang samyuin ang hangin na sinasamyo rin nila. The thought of being with them suffocates me, and I don't want my stresses because of them affect the baby in my stomach."Mama is here now..." I assured Ice while he cried on my chest.Humihikbi siyang yumakap sa akin nang mahigpit. May sumasakal sa puso ko habang nakikita siyang nagkakaganito. He must've been very scared. Dapat nandoon ako pero dahil sa kapabayaan ko, muntik nang manganib ang buhay niya.I caressed his hair and back and hushed him more. It must've been traumatic to him. Mas nasasaktan ako na wala man lang akong magawa para hindi na niya iyon damdamin pa."Shh... I will never leave you again. Okay, Ice? Mama is here. I'm here...""I-I was so scared, Mama! T-That... That man... he's bad, Mama
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 36: Mistress
Chapter 36Mistress"The baby is strong. I think the spotting resulted from constant stress. May mga iniisip ka ba lately na hindi maganda ang epekto sa 'yo?" the doctor asked.I bit my lower lip nervously. "Uhm... Just a bit, doc. Bakit po? Magiging delikado po ba kapag... dinugo po 'ko ulit?"She fixed her surgical mask. "Well, I can only guarantee na malakas ang kapit ng bata. Pero kahit gano'n, you should take care of the baby and yourself as well. Hangga't maaari, umiwas ka sa mga bagay na nagbibigay sa 'yo ng stress. Don't exhaust yourself too much."Marahan akong tumango. "Naiintindihan ko po.""You told me this is your first check-up. I'll recommend you to our best OB so she can give you a full check-up. I hope I wouldn't see you here in the emergency again."I know she's smiling behind her face mask. Hindi ko man alam kung bakit may suot siya na ganoon, pero siguro protocol lang. It's weird, though. Pakiramdam ko, matagal ko na siyang kilala. Her eyes somehow reminded me of
The Wife's Comeback Chapter 37: Unshaken
Chapter 37Unshaken "He told us to inject this into her before she wakes up, and we did. I think she's in better shape now." I heard an unfamiliar voice."Good... fuck," the other familiar voice breathed harshly. "This shouldn't have happened. We've been avoiding this. This is utter shit."Marahan akong nagmulat dahil sa naririnig. Nanunuyo ang lalamunan ko at ramdam ko ang panghihina kahit pa nakahiga naman. I let out a deep exhale and looked around my surroundings."Curses aren't even enough to describe our situation. Now we had to back our asses out because we cannot fight back. Damn the system.""We should've fought back a long time ago. This isn't on the plan. I almost met my end. Tres, we're fucked up..."Ivan's problematicness became a cue for me to rise up. Ang pangalawang boses, sa kaniya iyon. I'm sure of that. But who's the owner of the other voice?They're talking outside the room. Umisang libot pa ako ng tingin sa kinalalagyan pero hindi ko talaga mahanap ang pamilyaridad
